Despite the fact that she'd loved him, all those years ago.... Then the clock struck midnight, and the guests held their breath. The king was awaiting an announcement, and the bride was nowhere in sight! So Julie did what any devoted employee would do. She stepped up to the hard-hearted, but oh-so-handsome prince, and offered him herself.... 2) Shukumei no Saika(宿命の再会; The Prince's Baby) (Illust: CHIHARA Esu) A Prince of a Daddy Convinced she was a princess, a six-year-old girl sent Prince Whit Anders a message beseeching him to prove her right. Which gave the child's single mom, Drew Davis, cause for concern. After all, Drew and the prince had shared a magical summer long ago -- and her daughter's claim to royalty wasn't as far-fetched as everyone thought... When His Royal Highness Whit Anders discovered that he and lovely Drew had made more than a sweet teenage memory, he was ready to claim their child as his heir. But winning the beautiful -- and independent -- woman would put his reputation as the Prince of Hearts to the test! 3) Princess wa Kimi (プリンセスはきみ; The Irresistible Prince) (Illust: OGATA Rin) EVERY WOMAN WANTED TO MARRY THE PRINCE But Prince Lucas Hansson knew only one woman was fit to be his royal bride. If only he could find her. Enter Annah Lane. According to local legend, the pretty shopkeeper had an uncanny instinct for spotting true love. But the moment she laid eyes on His Royal Hunkiness, she realized she was his destined bride! Annah knew her intuition had to be wrong -- the prince needed so much more than a small-town woman like her could give. She'd just have to find him a better match -- and she would! -- as soon as she could tear herself from his strong yet tender embrace.
